Any idea why my Shi Channel hasn't been working on my E/U 5 min chart since last night? It's working great on all other time frames on the EU and on all other charts. Are there certain conditions under which channels won't be applied to the chart?

[mp6140]

actually no,

but try this first --- bring up the chart in question and right click anywhere on the chart which should bring up a drop down list with "indicators" on it

click on "indicators" and see IF the SHI channel is actually there !

if it is, close the dialogue boxes and SAVE the template as whatever you wish and if the indicator ISNT in there, put it back in and then SAVE the template (by right clicking on the chart again, selecting "template" from the drop down and then "save template" --- etc !

after that, youve got me !

OK, something's up. Still no Shi Channel, but ONLY on the 5 minute E/U chart. This is the case on 2 different comps on which the channels were working fine yesterday. I deleted the file and downloaded it again from a different site, I saved and loaded multiple templates, I checked 2 different brokers, and I'm out of ideas. It seems like there is something in the script that isn't finding the necessary parameters to apply the channel to my chart. But what do I know? I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Anyone else experiencing this on MT4?

youve gotten past my "geek" pay grade here --- if the indicator is loaded correctly and saved to a template there should be no problems with it.

ive attached my copy, but sounds like that wont do anything much either.

you gots me now !

The only thing I can think of which you probably already have checked is you need to zoom right out...the channel may just be too wide to show up on your present zoom level?

Thanks for your help MP, Sweetpips, but I have reached an impasse here. Very frustrating considering the success I've had over the last few days.

YOU are MARVELOUS sweetpip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

either Zoom out or place the cursor in the PRICE area on the right of the chart, hold down the button and mouse the chart down to collapse it, which should allow you to see the hidden bottom of the LRC

OK, AFTER all is said and done, i put up the EU 5 min chart and GUESS WHAT !

I DONT GOT NO STINKIN CHANNELS EITHER !!

its obviously the ghost of wed channels day, and we are not allowed to have them today !

use the LRC TOOL and draw the line from the lowest point on the left of the chart to the present price, and then draw a channel from the HIGHEST point and closest to the present price, which gives you intersecting OR agreeing channels

it the channels AGREE youve got STRONG MEDICINE in that direction, then look to Mr. barry's s+r on the H1 to get on idea of where the sucker is heading.
